I hope Conte tells them where to shove it. They must have had a feeling it may fall through otherwise they'd sacked him. Instead.... Just in case options it seems...

Good to see the rags covering their arses again with '48 hrs for Sarri to leave..." headline

They haven't got a fucking clue what's going.

Imagine Sarri deal falls through and we stick with Conte only to see Conte walk away by himself after 1-2 weeks into preseason.

Let’s finish this  shit please

Reports in Italy suggest Chelsea have 48 hours to get Maurizio Sarri from Napoli, or Antonio Conte could stay on.

I too think Conte staying at this point would be a disaster. Not getting on well with the squad and no pulling power for new quality signings, also too many media distractions would derail our season further. Everybody will know he is there only because the incompetent board couldn't secure who we needed. Sarri MUST get done! That is unless the club wants to become an utter and complete laughing stock.

It's too late to keep Conte. Would've been an option if it was announced immediately after the FA Cup final.

Cor Sport | Sarri must find a solution to free himself from Napoli or Abramovich may decide to keep Antonio Conte for next season. Whoever turns up on July 8 for start of #Chelsea’s pre-season training will coach Chelsea this season. #CFC

what a mess

You'd think Sarri was locked in Guantanamo Bay the way things are going.

[Pizy 18,858]

What top players are going to want to sign for essentially a lame duck manager everyone knows the club wanted rid of? Why the hell would our players who have criticized how we played last season want more of the same? There would be a cloud hanging over us from minute 1 and every press conference will be questions about his future and relationship with the club. One poor run of results and Conte will be risking the sack.

The only way I can see Conte staying and being successful is if we lock Hazard down for another contract and we go al out in the window and bring in 4-5 top players. The fans can then rally around him and back him like we always have done. But that feels impossible now. He must go or this season is doomed from the start.

Antonio Conte will begin preparing his Chelsea players for the new season at Cobham on Monday unless he is sacked before then, sources have told ESPN FC.

Not you, but fucking talk about stating the obvious.

Hmmm...I could do with a career change.  First come, first serve?  Or cheapest option?  I'll bring my Football Manager records with me in case there's any competition.  Already dreaming of that sweet pay-off.
